Account seems to be banned?

I just made a rednote account. I thought I’d give it a try since I heard great things about it. I made an account, made my first post. As soon as I uploaded it, my account is blank, my pfp is gone. I literally made a post about being new to rednote and wanting to make friends. It was up for maybe 10 seconds. Then poof! My account is banned (at least I think). What is up with this app? It doesn’t seem as great as it was made out to be! Now I can’t even delete it and it’s tied to my number.

My account is being restricted now for almost a week. The reason is due to security risk. They want me to do real name verification that I have done twice, the first one was disapproved, then I reapply again and until today is still mute. It is a public holiday now in China, so I hope tomorrow they'll give good news. I can still open my account, all my posts are still there, I just can't comment, direct messages and post any notes. I like the app a lot because you can learn a lot of things in it. I'm of Chinese descent so I really want to learn more about the culture and my people. It will be very sad if I can't use the platform.

I joined and was talking to people and enjoying the interaction and art id found then suddenly I wasn’t getting any interactions. Maybe shadow banned ?

It depends on your phone number and IP address. It may need to validate your identity. Also, anyone in rednote can turn you in. In which your account will get converted to a guest like account. I stopped going to rednote. I was worried about how others can see my ip address that aren’t rednote staff. In which they can track you down. If the IP address was only visible by rednote, I would have been fine. I walked away and have been off it for 7 days. So maybe you need time away from rednote or do what others do and have backup accounts.

You should take it as a happy coincidence and not bother with this Chinese propaganda outlet.

I joined this subreddit because I was curious about Red Note. I'm thinking of giving it a try, but all I see here is accounts getting banned or frozen even after ID verification. It makes me really unsure about making an account there...

Maybe because Reddit is not really a China friendly platform so not many people joined r/rednote. And people only post here when they need help with something, not to share the good experiences they had using the app. Idk but I'm still unsure...

I wonder if it's worth joining the app or if I'd just have my account banned. I still haven't gotten to a conclusion, so I'm just observing...

They're restricting foreign traffic I suppose. Ironically despite how people around the globe got along well on Rednote, it never meant to be an international platform but originally dedicated to Chinese users. And Chinese SNSs are pretty cautious when it comes to foreign affairs. Just like how the federal government banned TikTok for national security reasons, China has their own security concerns, too.

So no, Rednote really isn't the asylum people expected it to be.

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
